Sharwanand
Replaces
Nani
In
Thalaivar
170
A
couple
of
days
ago,
reports
were
rife
that
Natural
star
Nani,
who
scored
his
career's
biggest
blockbuster
with
'Dasara,'
is
said
to
be
part
of
the
movie,
playing
an
interesting
cameo.
However,
latest
buzz
is
that
Sharwanand
has
replaced
Nani.
The
reason
why
Nani
opted
out
of
the
project
is
that
the
role
would
be
on
the
negative
side.
Sharwanand
had
agreed
to
attempt
the
role
which
is
of
an
antagonist.
Ever
since
Sharwanand
began
his
journey
in
Tollywood,
he
always
picked
roles
that
are
unique
and
different
from
the
one
that
he
already
played.
So,
for
the
kind
of
image
he
carries
and
going
by
his
filmography,
Sharwanand,
who
recently
stepped
into
married
life
with
Rakshita
Reddy
is
reportedly
kicked
about
being
part
of
Thalaivar
170.
TG
Gnanavel
has
been
around
in
the
industry
for
about
12
years
now.
He
started
as
a
writer
and
penned
several
scripts
and
dialogues
to
films.
He
debuted
as
a
writer
for
Raththa
Sarithiram
in
2010.
He
then
made
Payanam,
Dhoni,
Kootathil
Oruthan,
and
rose
to
wide
acclaim
with
Jai
Bhim
starring
Suriya.
Thalaiva
170
is
bankrolled
by
Lyca
Productions
by
Subaskaran
Allirajah.
Arjun
Sarja
also
signed
for
a
role
in
the
movie.
Other
details
of
the
cast
and
crew
are
to
be
officially
revealed.
The
movie
will
soon
go
on
the
floors.
